Chapter 442 Lanai Island
The robbery of Singaporean businessman Chin Li-wen that took place on January 1983, 1 shocked the whole of Hong Kong, and the subsequent news made the front-page headlines of many newspapers for three consecutive days.
Fang Hexuan is also quietly using this case to gain public support for Blackwater International and exert public pressure on the Hong Kong government.
In addition, the search for the whereabouts of the robbers seemed to have reached a dead end. For five or six days, Fang Hexuan did not receive any useful information.
However, this also indirectly suggests that this gang of robbers is more likely to be soldiers from the provincial and Hong Kong flag. Seeing that they failed to succeed, it is possible that they simply sneaked back to the mainland to temporarily avoid the spotlight.
However, Blackwater International also learned a lot of lessons from this battle.
First, all vehicles used in missions need to be upgraded and modified. At the very least, steel plates need to be installed on the doors. If possible, the windows can be replaced with bulletproof glass. In addition, a batch of high-horsepower muscle cars need to be purchased from overseas, and their acceleration and top speed must meet actual combat needs.
Second, you must bring a shotgun and grenades when carrying out missions, especially the latter, the more the better.
Third, the company needs to be equipped with high-power radio stations that are not inferior to those of the Hong Kong police, so that the task force can have two-way communication with the headquarters. In addition, it can also investigate the commercial use of satellite phones in the United States to see if a small amount of equipment is feasible.
Fourth, bulletproof vests need further improvement, and the neck and crotch areas also need to be reinforced for bulletproof effect. Even if it looks like being wrapped in a dumpling, it is better than being injured or fatal.
The robbers have not been caught yet, and Blackwater International cannot suffer in vain.
In fact, from the moment the robbers appeared, everyone knew that their whereabouts might have been betrayed by an insider.
This speculation may sound arbitrary, but if the robbery gang does not have an insider, they really have no way of knowing the time and flight information of Qian Liwen's return from Singapore to Hong Kong.
As I said, movies are an art form of exaggeration, and transnational criminal gangs are also very powerful in the real world.
Gangs that are truly capable of carrying out organized crime across borders would not be so unambitious as to do stupid things like urban robbery. The uncertainties and risks involved are too great.
Only gangs with moderate criminal power that are unable to monitor their targets throughout the entire process need insiders to provide them with accurate information.
Chen Liang and Qian Liwen's suspicions were correct. Afterwards, when the latter returned to his branch in Hong Kong, he discovered that his male secretary had not come to work on the day of the incident. After finding his home address, he also discovered that the entire family had left the house.
At this point, the facts were obvious: Qian Liwen had been betrayed by his own secretary.
Although he was not sure why the secretary betrayed him, he was certain of disappointment and anger.
However, Qian Liwen still did not disclose the fact that his secretary was a spy to the public. Not only did he think that family disgrace should not be made public, but he was also afraid that it would affect his gold and jewelry business.
In this precious and luxurious consumer goods industry, safety and integrity are of great importance.
Qian Liwen was betrayed and could not make the news public. He was so angry that he did not intend to forgive his secretary, even if he hid.
Therefore, after donating 200 million Hong Kong dollars in consolation money to Blackwater International, he directly put forward a new demand - to find a secretary.
Xu Guohua and Chen Liang also wanted to find the culprit of the robbery. After reporting to Fang Hexuan, the "Sky Eye" intelligence system in the hands of the big boss started working again. Within two days, Qian Liwen's secretary and his family were found hiding in a fishing village in Saigon.
In order to avoid bringing disaster to the family, the Sun Yee On found an opportunity to capture the secretary directly, and then Fang Hexuan handed him over to Blackwater International.
In this way, the secretary entered the Yuen Long Training Center for a three-day "happy tour". After Xu Guohua and others vented their anger, they returned him to Qian Liwen, the direct victim.
As for how the Singaporean businessman would eventually deal with his own secretary, Fang Hexuan and Blackwater International were not interested in asking any more questions.
After dealing with all these messy things, it was already the end of January.
Although there are significant differences in semester and holiday schedules between universities in Hong Kong and the United States, there are also some similarities.
For example, the autumn semester for all universities in Hong Kong is from September to late December, and the winter break starts before Christmas in December and lasts until the end of January of the following year.
The duration of this winter vacation is exactly the same as that of American universities, but the difference is that the vacation ends at the end of January, and after students go back to school, they generally have a 1-2 day Spring Festival holiday during the Chinese New Year period in February. This is something that American universities do not have.
Therefore, Princess Fang, who is already a sophomore, has to return to Harvard to start a new semester after wandering around for more than a month.
Last year, Fang Hexuan asked Harvard to give his sister a ten-day Spring Festival holiday, but he doesn't plan to do so this year.
Therefore, if the Fang family continues to spend this New Year in Hong Kong, Fang Luoyi, an important family member, will definitely be missing.
However, considering that Fang Hexuan wanted to take advantage of the Lunar New Year to have a good rest, and Ergouzi was able to take a plane, he decided to take his family except Fang Luoyi out for a good vacation.
That’s right, since we are going to enjoy the holiday with our family, our grandparents and their family who live far away in Ningbo, including my two uncles, are definitely indispensable.
For a wealthy man like Fang Hexuan, there will be no visa problems even if he goes out with a large group of poor relatives.
He made detailed arrangements for the group and its subsidiaries' operations during the Spring Festival, and called many friends and elders to wish them a happy new year in advance. Finally, he took a whole day out to accompany Lizhi shopping, eating, and sleeping, and promised to take her out on vacation when he had time in the future. Only then could Fang Hexuan leave Hong Kong without distraction.
On February 1983, 2, Mr. Fang chartered a medium-range passenger plane, flew along the North Pacific route, stopped in Japan for refueling, and finally arrived in Hawaii smoothly.
Although he was longing for Lanai, since the vacation lasted for half a month, his family of more than a dozen people plus more than 20 bodyguards would first spend a few days in Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii.
Compared to Lanai, which is now almost uninhabited and basically undeveloped, Honolulu's urban construction and tourist facilities are world-famous, and the travel experience is very friendly to ordinary tourists who are not professional travelers.
There are many elderly people and children in their family, but they still have a lot of fun on the island.
The sunshine, beach, sea breeze, seafood, diving, bonfire parties, sea fishing, and the bold bikinis everywhere were a feast for the eyes of the two uncles.
